As far as I know, the best options for creating ‘scenery’ as a background for film production are being done with ‘text to video’ prompts. Does anyone know if any cutting-edge technologies are being developed? Using text prompts is a challenging task of crafting just the right wording. As I understand it, the technology is getting closer to AI being able to decipher an actual picture. This would be a much easier solution to creating backgrounds that could make the large LED screens used in ‘Batman’ and the like become obsolete.
“In February 2024, filmmaker and producer Tyler Perry announced that he was indefinitely halting a planned $800 million expansion of his studio in Atlanta, Georgia. Perry cited the rapid advancements in AI-generated imagery and video—specifically OpenAI’s text-to-video model, Sora—as the primary reason for the decision”.
If the next generation of Sora, or similar AI, can produce a realistic background from still images or existing video, the entire film production will be revolutionized. Films can be produced on sound stages with live actors at a fraction of the cost. Furthermore, if the technology can be devised to scan and track the actors on the sound stage, the AI could potentially create a virtual scene. For instance, if the actors run toward the back-stage wall, the background could potentially adjust to the depth perception. If the sound stage is large enough, this kind of AI-generated background could replace CGI.
Any thoughts or updates about this?
